So I'm sure you have seen lots of those meal delivery ads for Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, and other similar companies, right? They're all the rage right now, and I can fully see why - SUPER convenient. Seth and I tried one a few years ago for one week just for fun to see if the food was any good. It was a fun week, but we still prefer just coming up with our own dinners!
In February, when I was in ...

I'm trying to make the best of the fact that it's still wintery here in Kansas. Whenever it gets to this time of year and spring is so close I can almost taste it, I start to LOSE MA MIND. I don't want to be a negative Nancy over here, but I freaking hate cold weather. Winter itself has some nice perks: Christmas, coziness, and cold weather food, but the cold weather itself makes me want to curl ...

Holy cashew sauce, if you follow me on Instagram and have been keeping up with my stories documenting our Whole 30 journey, you have been overloaded with mass amounts of cashew curry sauce. It probably has you wondering...am I obsessed? Do I eat anything else other than the cashew curry sauce? Do I have some sort of problem that leads to me eating this sauce on everything for every meal? Answers: ...

Whole 30 day one is in the books, and we are makin' our way through day two right now! I think I'll have less of those Whole 30 symptoms that other people experience (like the "hangover" and super tired/pissy days at the beginning) because I was doing paleo for several weeks before this, so my body is used to this style of eating for the most part. I will say, however, that the fact that honey is ...

Soups are one of my all time favorite things to cook. There is so much versatility, and you can make them SO PAINFULLY delicious when you add a bunch of yummy flavor combinations. There are days where I'm craving the simplicity of a straight up chicken noodle soup, but most of the time I like to make soups that are a little more unique and just bursting with a slap-you-across-the-face amount of ...

Do you want to know what happened in Kansas today? They closed schools because of EXTREME COLD. Like...no snow...no ice...no dangerous driving conditions...just cold weather. The concern is that they don't want kids waiting outside for the buses when it's like negative ten degrees. So hopefully that gives you a nice frigid visual of the weather outside right now. Growing up in North Carolina ...

It is highly challenging for me to go to a restaurant, see a French Dip on the menu, and not order it. McAlister's Deli is one of our frequent post-church lunch spots on Sunday, and every time we go there, I peruse the menu, trying to lie to myself and pretend I'm actually going to order something other than the French Dip, buuutttt, alas...every single time, gimme dat French Dip, yo.
They are ...

Chickpeas are my new food obsession. They are like these tender and hearty morsels of yumminess, and they have way better flavor and texture than other beans - less mushy, more tasty! This recipe right here, friends, is THA best chickpea recipe I've ever had. Here's the situation we're talkin' about here - tomatillos, red onions, and garlic roast in the oven and are then pureed. Meanwhile, the ...

Talk about a super fast, super easy, super yummy dinner 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼. This right here, friends! If there were tickets to the land of dinners that are zero fuss but level ten deliciousness, come together in under thirty minutes, and stay yummy for days in your fridge? That ticket would have "20 Minute Korean Ground Turkey Bowls" stamped across the front in big, fat, obnoxious letters.
There's ...

It's official. My life is changed forever now that I can have a piping hot mug of delicious mac and cheese in five minutes FLAT. No joke on that five minutes - the pasta and water cook in the microwave for four minutes, during which you grate your cheddar cheese. The mug comes out of the microwave, gets a quick stir, the cheese and half and half get thrown in, and after another thirty seconds in ...
